The Rose that Grew From Concrete
21st Century
A little crack in the concrete
Not too wide, not too deep
In it grew a tiny rose
A natural wonder, I suppose
A little space between the slate
Inside of it, did God create
a little flower sitting there
elegant, unique, and rare
Its stunning beauty caught my eye
Made me stare as I walked by
Who would've thought a thing like that
could live and grow inside a crack?
Its fairness captivated me
Such a splendid sight to see
Its crimson color tells no lies
The sweetest candy for the eyes
If no one finds the beauty I've found
in a rose that sprouted from the ground
If no one knows it, then God knows
I love you, babe; you are my rose.
